to a host to be seen by HP P6000 Performance Data Collector. However, replication volumes on the replication system are visible without being presented. Because the array controllers are active/active, one controller is preferred (the owning controller) but requests can still be processed by - HP P6500 | HP P6000 EVA Updating Product Software Guide (XCS 11001100) (5697-232 - Page 28
appropriate for most array operations, including online controller software upgrades. In general, host LUN timeouts of 60 seconds or more are sufficient for an online upgrade. In most situations you will not need to change these settings to perform an online controller software upgrade. If any host - HP P6500 | HP P6000 EVA Updating Product Software Guide (XCS 11001100) (5697-232 - Page 29
